WHEN listening to Deep Purple, Coldplay or even Metallica, a harp is not the first instrument one would imitate while playing along to the beat.

But that’s what Hertfordshire-based harp trio Schrödinger’s Strings will be bringing during their concert at the Library Theatre on May 3 between 2-4pm.

The group performs a mixture of original work as well as their own arrangements of classic rock and pop songs.

It consists of two harpists and a guitarist and in addition to playing at festivals across the UK, they have also been abroad in Belgium and France.

Eddie Brown, who plays guitar and is also on the vocals, said the group prides themselves on being able to offer audiences a variety of musicial sounds.

He said: “I would say we are quite an original act.

“We like to play a lot of our own original compositions.

“We also like taking heavy metal songs and making them serene, taking rock songs and stringing them out; taking pop songs and making them different and taking classical tunes and jazzing them up a bit.

Carol Walker, who plays the harp and does backing vocals, said: “People who come to see us do get surprised and very much entertained by us because we just don’t play music, we do put on a bit of an act.”

She added: “We can turn our hands to most things.

“We can tailor ourselves to any event, so if people want to book us but don’t want us to do the really wild sort of heavy metal side and they want us to be a little bit more tame, we can do that.”
